How can you enjoy an incredible 5-day bicycle ride while supporting G.A.L.A.? Climate Ride – the nation’s largest cycling event dedicated to active transportation and sustainability is this September 20-24, 2014 from New York City to Washington DC!

The exciting part for G.A.L.A. is that anyone who signs up for the ride gets to choose which organization they will be raising money for – and you can choose G.A.L.A.!

Wolfeboro’s very own and one of G.A.L.A.’s newest Board Members, Susan Fuller, is already registered, chosen G.A.L.A. as her beneficiary, and is now looking for sponsorships for her epic ride!

Participants must register, reach the fundraising minimum and train for the ride, then come along and discover why Climate Ride is the premiere green event in the country. Amazing riding, stunning scenery, and great speakers all combine to make this a remarkable experience. Climate Ride NYC-DC is a grand cycling adventure that connects two of the nation’s iconic cities – New York City and Washington, DC – by bicycle.

The ride begins with an exciting departure by ferry in Manhattan, and then travels through charming towns in rural New Jersey and Amish Country. The finale is a hero’s welcome and rally at the steps of the US Capitol. Climate Ride also features nightly speakers who focus on bicycle advocacy, sustainability, and renewable energy.

Find out more and register or sponsor Susan Fuller by visiting www.climateride.org. Susan is also happy to speak with anyone who is interested in learning more about what inspired her to sign up for the Climate Ride and ways to join her or support her journey. Susan can be reached at 603-515-1223 or email sfuller5277@yahoo.com.

This one-hour, afternoon webinar is organized by a group called Circle Forward. It's on G.A.L.A.'s calendar because we use consent-based governance called "Dynamic Governance". We think it offers some great tools to help groups make decisions and work together. This webinar would be great for anyone who is part of a team or group, and especially if you are interested in volunteering on one of G.A.L.A.'s many committees and board! The webinar is on the third Thursday of every month.
